Wednesday, August 19

Yesterday I forgot to list what I ate for dinner and what I did all evening. I had to remove everything from the bedroom because I was getting new furniture delivered on Wednesday. I came home and started putting clothes and shoes in the closet and grabbing small items off the dresser. I dragged a shelf into the next room. I started to get tired but needed to keep going. My next idea was to move the dresser. I kept everything in the drawers so it was quite heavy. I got it half out of the room and then I realized I needed to get out of the room to push the dresser the rest of the way into the next room. I climbed on top of the dresser dragged my leg around the corner and then twisted down off it. I pushed the rest of it into the next room. I folded the bedspread and removed the linens from the bed. I lifted the hugh pillowtop mattress and stood it up along the wall. I was sweating but still had more left to do. I took a break for supper. I ate a salad, a skinless chicken breast and green beans. After dinner, it was time to tear apart the waterbed frame. Luckily my brother was around to lend a hand (really did most of the work) taking it apart. I did help bring the pieces outside along with dragging the mattress out too. I kept the headboard and pushed that into another room. Now it was time to vacuum the carpet. I have 2 cats so the hair builds up quickly. I had to empty the canister twice before I was finished. I then made up the couch so I could sleep comfortably. I really had a workout! The thought of having my new bed and mattress tomorrow made all this work and sleeping on the couch bearable. I awoke Wednesday feeling a bit stiff but after getting up and getting ready I was ok. I went to work, it was busy but not overly stressful. I had a breafast bar for breakfast and then a salisbury wrap for lunch. I also had a snack bag of vege chips from the vending machine. The delivery was scheduled between 5-7p. I arrived at home and found a message on the machine that they were running behind and gave me a new window of between 6:30-8:30. I quickly had dinner of a salad and spam/cheese sandwich all while looking out the window. As the night went along I didn't see the truck nor get a phone call. When 8:30 came and went I was quite upset that I needed to sleep another night on the couch. I don't know why but I though about eating. I grabbed a diet soda and thought that would end the craving. It didn't. I ate 2 more breakfast bars at 140 calories each. Finally about 9:15, I got a call from the delivery guy and he said he could still come by but I said it was too late and that I would reschedule. Well, its time to get the "bed" ready.
